There have been many [[disasters on the Severn]], which have claimed perhaps 300 lives, depending on sources, especially during the 20th century. The [[Severn Railway Bridge]] was badly damaged by the collision of two river barges in 1960, which led to its demolition in 1970. Five crew members of both the ''Arkendale H'' and ''Wastdale H'' died in the accident.<ref>Ron Huxley, The Rise and Fall of the Severn Bridge Railway, 1984, {{ISBN|978-1-84868-033-3}}</ref> There have been frequent [[Shrewsbury floods|floods in Shrewsbury]], Bewdley and elsewhere. More recently the river flooded during the [[2007 United Kingdom floods]] and the [[2019–20 United Kingdom floods]].
